Haute Estate: Custom Residence at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort
by Margaret Kearns

One of the most extraordinary custom estates in Hawaii is among a limited number of residences currently on the market at the Hualalai Resort. Beautifully appointed, the home is offered fully furnished, including a spectacular wall mural installation by master blown glass artist Dale Chihully. A museum quality collection of art, including such greats as Pablo Picasso, Peter Max and Edovard Manet is offered separately.

Situated in one of Hualalai Resort’s premier neighborhoods, the stunning custom residence reflects the classic style of the resort. Mature, tropical landscaping designed by David Tamura, AIA, the first name in luxury home landscapes in Hawaii, welcomes with lush florals, grassy enclaves, and soaring palms. The producing fruit trees and vegetable and herb gardens provide the ultimate in fresh picked culinary delights! Tamura also preserved the property’s natural lava formations and used them to create rock walls and lava flow pathways that wind their way throughout the property.

The elegant 6,459-square-foot home itself was designed by Robert Torson Architects and mirrors the graceful, indoor/outdoor living and traditional Hawaiian design exemplified by the resort’s Five Diamond Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.

The home sits on 32,900 square feet fronting the 15th hole of the award-winning Hualalai Golf Course. Its position in one of the resort’s first makai(near the ocean) neighborhoods provides protected fairway, coastline and fairway views. Spacious lanais surround the infinity-edged pool and spa, providing the perfect space to kick back and enjoy this slice of tropical paradise.

Inside, treasures abound with furnishings by the top names in furniture design worldwide–Kneedler Forchiere, McGuire, Baker Furniture and Brown Forman – along with a number of exquisite, restored Chinese and Japanese antiques. And, of course, the wall mural installation by Chihuly. Custom-designed for the specific space, each color was carefully chosen to perfectly capture the hues of the spectacular Kona sunsets.

Adding yet another dimension to the luxury of living at Hualalai Resort, membership in the exclusive Hualalai Club is reserved exclusively for property owners. Benefits include access to all the amenities at the award winning Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, including beach and pool service, stellar shops and restaurants. Club facilities include two championship golf courses, a sports club and luxurious spa, the Canoe Club and the Ke’olu Clubhouse on the mauka (towards the mountains) golf course. In other words, resort living at its very best! Visit www.hualalairealty.com
